Planned Parenthood Votes is focusing its political campaign expenditures on two dozen House races in hopes of aiding Democrats to retake the majority and ensure future federal disbursements to the organization. Deirdre Schifeling, executive director, defended the heavily government-subsidized organization’s partisan political spending.
“The survival of Planned Parenthood is at stake,” Schifeling contended. “Federal funding is the life’s blood we depend on to keep going in our mission to ensure that every woman who wants an abortion can get one whether she can afford it or not. But it’s not only the funding, we also need friends in Congress who support our efforts to monetize the discarded fetuses. Rather than just have these sacrificed individuals biological matter go to waste our ability to sell this material to willing buyers is a resource that must not be foreclosed to us.”
“The prospect that monster like Kavanaugh could be confirmed to a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court makes it imperative that we elect more Democrats,” she added. “I mean, here is a man who cruelly abused a teenage girl 35 years ago. Now he is on the verge of tipping the balance on the Supreme Court to overturn the Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion. We need people in office who can be counted on to protect young women from the cruelty of being forced to give birth to unwanted children. A Democratic majority will protect abortion rights by impeaching Trump and Kavanaugh before they can do anymore damage to this vital civil right.”
Schifeling challenged the objection that recipients of federal subsidies shouldn’t be engaging in political campaigns by pointing out that “defense contractors reinvest a much larger amount of funds into promoting the election of legislators who can be counted on to support bigger subsidies for their companies. If it is okay for companies that produce weapons used to kill people to donate to the election of favored candidates than why wouldn’t it be okay for us to do the same?”
In related news, Leana Wen, Planned Parenthood’s new president, called abortion “a fundamental human right,” but expressed regret that “the 50% of aborted babies that are female will never get to enjoy exercising this right.”

If Federal Monies fund an organization, say NEA, they should be prohibited from taking a political stance. I listened to Public Radio one day and out came, “this hour is sponsored by Planned Parenthood”, I have barely turned them on since. Some of their reporting seems down the middle, I haven’t listened to them lately at all.
I was under the impression that 501 c 3 organizations could not partake in political activities. Am I in error and thinking this?
Gee, how else would the aborted babies register to vote?
Why should people barely scraping by have their taxes taken by Planned Parenthood to use to influence the elections for the killing of maturing human beings. That is wrong! Congress needs to stop it even if the democrats object.
